The handwork on it is so beautiful. What a gorgeous vintage piece to have. <br />When our youngest was little my sister in law crocheted her a beautiful dress. she never wore it but still has it. think it was for about a 4 yr. old, she's now 44. <br />Your ring is very pretty, love the vintage jewelry so much more than new pieces. The handwork on old jewelry is so much prettier with details. I have a ring that was my Grandmother's, two of the opals are gone but I won't part with it. The gold is 18K. Worth holding onto things. I'm 74 now so you can imagine how old that ring is. <br />When I was 52 we moved to MT from San Diego, CA to 20 acres out in country. Talk about a culture shock, I was a big city girl until then. I no longer want to live in town, love being out in country. After MT we moved to KY where we had 1 1/2 acres out in country, then we moved to western CO out in country where we have 1/2 acre. I'd go back to MT in a minute. We've also lived in southern AZ where I met my husband. It might not be as convenient as town but I love that space and peace. We have houses around but not on top of us as it was in San Diego. <br />Your garden is so breath taking, and your view, oh my, I envy you that also, so green and pretty. Do you like being out in country now? I've always wanted to visit Australia. I'm part gypsy in my heart anyway. I used to go with my husband when he was an over road trucker all over United States and some of Canada. I hope you're happy out in country. <br />We have 5 chickens, is it the hormones that make them peck each other? We really don't know about things like that. The chickens were given to us this summer and we keep them in our back yard. They're free to roam back yard except at night when they're in their pen. Did the cool bath help your chicken? <br /> Western CO is cold usually this time of year. We usually have snow and cold temps, down in 20's during day and much less at night, but this year is so different, I even hung laundry out today. It's in 50's here so we're enjoying it very much. Glad I clicked on this post, it's so nice to be able to "meet" people in other countries. I'll have to look on map where you are. Think will subscribe to your blog. <br />Happy weeksrpprcrftrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02861352034915359506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517767944164746890.post-1622049808667456022014-11-19T00:56:39.880+10:302014-11-19T00:56:39.880+10:30Your garden is beautiful!
